Yes Spanish wines are often overlooked, often seen as too cheap.If you like the taste - Rioja is great for me - forget all the "expert " bullcrap and check out the good value ones.

Hi out there, in the end of the day, your own taste will be deciding good or bad.EH

5 years I bought 6 bottles of red wine from Lild (I buy from Aldi as well), they were all between 1,50 and 4,50 euros, I put the price on the label of each bottle and made notes as we drink the bottles over 2 weeks.

The bottles priced close to 2/3 euros were the best. make sure they are opened some time before tasting to let the air do it work with the wine.

This test told me never let the low price of a wine put you off buying.

If you don't like the taste use it in marinades or cooking, but they always say use good wine for cooking. I do, I have glass of it or two while cooking!!!
